Children are overprotected nowadays. When I was a kid a group of us would get together for Halloween and roam the neighborhoods unsupervised, that seems to have changed.

It's detrimental to a child to be so protected from exploring his/her world. Unsupervised -to a reasonable extent- roaming of the world around them only serves to further curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Be it walking down the street and admiring the houses or the nature around them.
